WE ALWAYS SAY THIS: We need more color. We shorten it down, too: More color. You know, we’ll be on some monotone project all week, or what have you, and we just need some color spectrums shoved in our face to liven up the cockpit a little.

Fellow color-digger Bill Zindel sent this one in, and we thank him for it. Incredible link. Made my whole week, this one.

ONE OF OHIO’S GREATEST: Don Pendleton and the world of Elephont! Been too long since I checked in on this slice of Ohio. So good. Damn. Been digging on Don for a long, long time. One of my favorite Ohioans.

We’re readying materials for our big talk and “general presence” around the event. Namely, a monster poster with all the shit we love about Ohio. And hell, it’s a quite a list. You’ll see. So much Ohio on this fucker.

HALFWAY THROUGH: We’re making incredible progress on the new album design for Richmond Fontaine. The cover, back cover, cd face and insert are all at 99%. Once they are all done, shit gets fired off over to England to Decor Records. Real proud to be rolling up the sleeve for Willy and the boys again. Seriously.

When you look back at all the shit that you got to work on, what sticks out? Think about that for a second. The shit that made you loot, but you would never show it? Nah. The committee’d stuff that was just a paycheck? Hell no. It’s this kind of shit. A friend’s art built into this little package. I’m so proud to help out. Thanks, guys.
